why is sparkplugs.com giving me different plugs for 02 lancer and 03 lancer...i was pretty sure there running the same ones?!?!?!!?

i wanted NGK platinums and now i dont know which ones i should use?!?!!?!?

....by the way i did read the spark plugs section and it was informative but didnt answer that question???

 

Search, you can find this info easily.

 

I have been using NGK V-power copper core plugs. $1.50 a pop and have the best conductivity of any spark plug. Only downside is they don't last quite as long.

 

It not really going to make a difference. Just follow your heart. LOL

 

Major +1. In all my years, I've never seen a spark plug make any real difference on these cars.

 

so if i go with NGK GP platinum BKR5EGP

i should be fine if im running a stock engine?

 

Just get the V-Powers and save your money.

 

Yeah get the cheapest thing and gap them your self.

 

there only 2.30 a plug by me...and like 2.60 on sparkplugs.com

my thing is why is it that it gives a different size for an 02 and an 03...i was pretty sure there the same engine...so im not sure which plugs are right along with what gap...since it gives me .32 on an 03 and .44 on an 02

 

I would just go with what the gap says for the spark plugs you buy. Most of the plugs are .44 tho.

 

ok...but im still wondering about the temperature...

which plugs are the right ones....

like ive searched and im getting different numbers everywhere i go

anyone here have an 03 lancer oz ... that changed there plugs???
---which ones did u put in

 

i have some V-power plugs and i like them. when i first got the car i got NGK iridium IX plugs... which i didn't like. neither did the car. for some reason i was getting cylinder 3 misfire codes all day one day so i changed plugs.

after that i switched to autolite double platinums, and then the other day i switched to the V-power plugs since it was time for a tune up. i noticed the idle went down to normal after i start the car a lot faster than it did with the platinums--though it could be just because the plugs are gapped properly.

.044 is the maximum gap if i remember correctly, i think the range is .036-.044 (unless you have an aftermarket hood you can check the stickers on your hood), i set my gap to .040 which seemed like a nice happy medium.
